Hi. Are you using Safari? If so, go to Safari > Preferences > Search > Google. Then, you can also set your homepage by going to Safari > Preferences > General > Homepage > Google.com


Hope this helps!

You have adware/malware installed. Use  Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac. It may be necessary to run more than one scan. After scanning a couple of times, restart the computer and test. If necessary, follow the manual instructions.  Do not download any other programs that are listed in the articles.

Go to Safari Preferences/Extensions, uninstall any you don't recognize, and then turn all extensions off. Test. If okay, turn the extensions on one by one until you figure out what extension is causing the problem.
